There is more to come. The point of this initial vid is to introduce the topic. They recently victimised the person that made the complaint. When the Judges decision comes out, I will post it.. They appear to have failed the chap who blew the whistle on the IFOA. They used heavy handed tacktics against him.. As I said,,, wait for the judgement to come out... This is just the warm up..

These are rather serious charges.

By the way, why do our brethren from across the pond have such poor grammar skills? Their exams are more report-based than ours, and yet their posts so often are rife with errors.

Being sued does not prove that someone is guilty. I am another of those waiting for more information.

Not having read the whole image of the letter, is the IFoA being sued because they charge less for exams in Indian and other nations where incomes are a lot lower than in the UK and other high-wage nations?

No they are getting sued because they are applying generalizations about earnings. They are assuming (without cogent evidence) the students in India are much poorer than all of those in the UK. A member of the UK profession kicked off about this and they appear to have victimised him because of it. That is the next part of what I will disclose.

In the U.S., we don't much care if the listed $$ cost is a bit different for different countries.

We object if the passmark differs depending on your country. [and in the U.S., we really object to getting exam credit via a college course]

To Americans, this is really small beer. So don't be surprised if none of us really care about an exam fee of $500 vs. $50. (whatever it happens to be)

The chap that informed the UKs Equality regulator (EHRC) about the IFOAs shortcomings appear to have been subjected to victimisation. He had his court case and is awaiting the written judgement.
As for passmarks and different standards – all of this will be coming out in due course.
